look at from my view point I have a very nice showman's engine that was not there because I could only commit to two days and not three. I sadly am still working and cannot get time off just as and when.
I take your point and agree but is it better to have some than non at all? That attitude will eventually help in killing the scene, we can all read here of the demise of shows and rallies, this will only help speed up that process. I already know of owners who will now only attend events close to home due to travel costs etc, this is just another issue.

Not commenting on this instead itself, but i do not think shows are demising because of lack of exhibits. I think its more to do with additional work load on volenteers to put them on, coupled with reduction in green fields to hold them, coupled with the extra places Joe public can now go on Saturdays and Sundays. There is generally a long list of exhibitors for all the shows I know off. And given that Joe Public generally don't care if there are 10 full size and 10 models or 100 full size and 200 models I think shows like this can impose what ever rules they like. If you don't like it, don't go. If you have an issue over attendance days try privately contacting the organiser and see what they say. Politeness goes a long way and who knows what another year may bring.
